York City Police are investigating the recent death of a 2-year-old boy, Dante Mullinix, who was brought to York Hospital suffering from injuries and later died at Hershey Medical Center, police said.

"Right now, we have to wait for autopsy reports, for cause and manner of death, to see if a crime was committed," York City Police Sgt. Bill Wentz said Monday.

Wentz said an autopsy has not been performed yet but is scheduled. Since Dante, of York, died in Dauphin County, the autopsy will be handled by Dauphin County Coroner Graham Hetrick's office.

Along with police, the York County District Attorney's Office is involved in the case, office spokesman Kyle King said Monday.

"We have been in constant contact with our law enforcement partners regarding the death of this young child," King said. He said he could not provide further details because the investigation is ongoing.

Dante's aunt, Sarah Mullinix, described her nephew as "a very sweet, loving, happy, energetic, adorable little boy. Loved by everyone he came in contact with."
